Artist VS Art meme thingy. I saw this being quite popular at this summer and I jump into the bandwagon fashionably late.
Just like I pose in every photo, characters in my drawings – for the 99.8% of the time – are being presented from the ¾ point of view as well. What a educational meme.
My photo is actually in the middle of the first row.
Oh, to think that I thought I was suffering before. Naive me. Favouring the doomed, as if tumblr didn’t warm me. God do I love the book though, I can not thank you enough for keeping my interest alive by your blog until I could read on. ♥
You are so welcome! When encouragement isn’t enough I do throw grapes…

Tbh even though Antonio Banderas Armand wasn’t exactly canon, he was still better than the Armand in The Queen of the Damned movie XD
Banderas!Armand was 85% Santino and 15% Armand. He was Armand in name and title, everything else was Santino.
The Armand in movie!QOTD (Matthew Newton) is no Botticelli angel himself ok? And I’m sorry bc I know some ppl actually really liked him, but look:
^This was one of the only pics I found where he looks remotely like the
Botticelli paintings and he’s still pretty far off.
^He looks more like a Claudia cosplayer tbh. Same lipstick color, strand of beads necklace, the humidity has wilted his perm tho.
All I can say is, if there is a moment in the new book where Lestat *actually jumps over a shark,* Anne us officially trolling us.
You know that he will at least punch a shark, if not drink its blood, if not jump over it. Probably all three, in that order.
All because the shark stole his hat or smtg first. *sigh*
I think rejecting completly an actor for a rumor ( that nobody have ever heard before and just can barely find any information ) is pretty extreme. Leto is a very dedicated and hard-working actor, he have gone to the point of being on a wheelchair just to get a character right. And is a very talented musician. I not even a fan of him, but I do have a lot of respect for his work, and I feel people should give him a chance.
FYI: I am 100% done with this topic and I’m deleting ALL future Asks about it. All. Even if he is cast in the new movie.
There are many places where this topic can be discussed, but it is NOT appropriate on a blog that is here to highlight a certain fandom and is focused on entertainment, and where I do my best to keep it politically-neutral, fair-minded, and civil. That is my prerogative on my own blog.
To address your points, which are hopefully more naive than trolling for a fight:
- An actor’s/musician’s dedication to – or quality of – their craft does not eliminate the possibility that they committed crimes of repeated acts of sexual abuse of underage women. Combined with fame, acting skills and musicianship could in fact make someone a more dangerous predator. We’ve seen this happen far too often just in the last decade in the film and music industries.
- The fact that we can barely find any information about these accusations could mean that the crimes are being covered up by his PR agents or whoever else, not that the crimes did not occur.
- The fact that we are only now hearing about these accusations could mean any number of things, such as the victims could not come forward sooner, as is the case with many victims of this type of crime. Fear of their attacker is one possible reason; many victims are threatened into silence until they gain enough emotional support and are able to come forward with the truth.
- If being “extreme” is my rationally stating my own opinion that I wouldn’t cast him if it were up to me, ok, I’m being “extreme.”
So I will restate for the 3rd time what I’ve stated 2x: Currently I don’t want a Leto!Lestat bc true or false, we don’t need that kind of baggage in our fandom, and:
There are PILES of younger actors out there who can play Lestat bc Boone wants this to be a trilogy w/ TV spinoffs and we need someone who can play 20 or 21 yrs old for a long time, and Leto altho he does not look like it is 44 yrs old.
Could I maybe get. A happy birthday from lestat its my 19th birthday today 😊
♛Bon anniversaire, ma petite! I would send you a doll, but some girls outgrow them at a certain age, apparently. Myself, I’m over 200 years old and I love dolls. There’s no accounting for taste in some people.
Ever wonder why your cats tongue feels so rough? It looks like this.
You’re looking at a 3 mm-wide section of a cat tongue more than a century old. David Linstead’s captivating image was a winner in the 2015 Wellcome Image Awards, run by the Wellcome Trust, a biomedical charity in London.
The serrated ridge may be the most intriguing aspect of this picture. Those rough bumps, or papillae, are the reason that a kitty’s tongue feels like sandpaper when it licks you. When a cat grooms herself, the papillae act like a comb to remove dirt and loose hair. But they also serve a grislier purpose: rasping meat off of bones.
